Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from Pro-
prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as we'll as relieving
the burden Of home manufacturers. Espec-
tally is this the case with GREEN'S august
Fower and Boschee's German Syrup, as the
reduction of thirty-slx cents per dozen, has
been added to increase the size Of bottles
containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-ffth more medicine in the Is cent size.
The august FlU,cer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps, the arg-
est sale of any medicines in the world The
advantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted. in every town aud village in civil
lied countries. Sample bottles for ten cents
remain the same size.

The Late John Esten Cooke.

When the civil war broke out Mr..
Cooke rushed headlong into it, serving
first with Stonewall Jackson and after
wards ON the staff of Gen. J. E. B.
Stuart, coming out of the struggle a
Major. The result of his war expert
ence was shown in the novel of "Surry
of Eagles Nest,' which was published
in the winter of 1866, and went rapidly
through seven editions. Many of the
scenes the author himself witnessed,
and he tells what he heard Jackson
and Stuart say, not what he read they
had said. The success of "Surry" in
duced Cooke to continue the war
novels, and "Mohun," Hit to Hit"
Hammer and Anvil" ETC., followed in
few years. He also wrote the Lives
of Lee and Jackson" "The Wearing of
the Gray" and other books, all having
more or less of the war atmosphere.
His aim was to do for Virginia what
SimmS had done for South Carolina,
Cooper for the Indian and frontier life,
Irving for the quaint old Knicker-
booker times and Hawthorne for the
weird Puritan life of New England.
Although Mr.. Cookies sympathies were
for the cavaliers, he never magnified
one of them at the expense of Puritan,
and his books, while Southern in their
views, are never rancorous. They are
of Virginia, because their author loved
the grand old Commonwealth, and,
though both local and sectional, they
have no narrow spirit in them, Mr..
Cooke believing with Shakespeare that
"there are liners out of Britain"

A LIVING BAROMETER.
An Eel that Acts as Weather Prophet
for Pennsylvania Farmer.

In the summer of 1868 Peter Kern of
Washington township, PENNSYLVANIA,
caught Il small eel on set line and put
it in a well in his yard. The eel is still
in the well, and is four feet long and
eight inches in diameter about the
middle. 1t has gained a wide reputa-
ton as a weather prophet, as it is an
infallibe foreteller of rain. From the
time the eel was put into the we'll until
the present time it has kept itself con-
cealed among the stones at the bottom,
except at irregular intervals, when it
would appear on the surface Of the
water, where it would swim about for
hours and then disappear again. 1t
was finally noticed that these appear
ances of the eel were followed by rain
within a day or two.
For over fifteen years this living bar
ometer has proved infallible No one
ever passes the Kern place without in
quiring whether the eel has been seen
lately, and instead of the question one
We'll have rain?" the inquiry in the
neighborhood is: "What does the eel
say?' In hayng or harvest farmers
for miles around send every day for in
telligence of the eel In times of
drought the weather prophet is also the
constant objec. of inquiry. The eel
not only gives warning of approaching
rain, but its appearance in the we'll any
day during storm is a sure indication
that the storm will last a day longer.
The longest time the eel was ever
concealed was during the memorable
drought of 1876. The eel appeared on
July 9. 1t rained the 10th and 18th.
From then until October Is the eel
was not seen, and in all that time there
was no rain. The eel never appears to
foretell thunder showers. The sight of
Kern's weather prophet in the well any
time during that summer would have
been the cause for general thanksgiv-
ing, but when he did put in an appear
ance it was too late to do that years
crop any good. The eel came to the
surface of the water October 16, and
was in sight all day and part of the
18th. On the 18th occurred the great
rain storm that lasted nearly week
and did as much damage as the dry
weather had done. A popularity of
this eel is that it will have no other
kind of fish in the well. Trout, catfish
and other fish have been put in the
well, but the eel kills them

The Sphinx and New Discoveries.

The Sphinx occupies a position where
the encroachment of the desert is most
conspicuous. At the present day moth
ing is to be seen of the animal except it's
head and neck; but the Egyptian monu-
ments on which it is figured show not
only the entire body down to the paws.
but also large square plinth beneath,
covered with ornaments. Since the
time ofthe Greeks, perhaps even since
the reign of Thothmes ", his plinth
has disappeared beneath the sand and
its very existence had been forgotten.
1t is generally supposed that the Sphinx
is hewn out of large isolated rock,
which overlooked the plain. But M.
Masperos researches ;1ggest that it is a
work yet more stupendous. He has
proved that the Sphinx occupies the
centre of an amphitheatre. forming a
kind of rocky basin. the upper rim of
which is about on level with the head
of the animal. The walls of this am
phitheatre. whenever visible. are cut by
the hand of man. 1t seems probable,
therefore, that in the beginning there
was uniform surface oil rock, in which
an artificial valley has been eXcavated.
so as to leave in tx middle a block out
of which the Sphinx was finally hewn.
The excavations now being carried on
will doubtless verify the existence of
the plinth shown on the old paintings.
and also furnish evidence by the orna-
mentation of the plinth, OF the true age
of the monument. Maspero is inclined
to assign to it very great antiquity
possibly higher then the early dynasties
!. e., then the iirst period OF Egyptian
history. AS the result OF hast Winters
work the sand round the Sphinx has
already been lowered by about 80
meters.

Boston Manners.

Two visitors one morning we're doing
the Public Garden. They had paused
before the statue near the Common
wealth avenue entrance, and failing to
recognize its bronzen feature they re-
solved to question the first passer-by.
This proved to be a dignilied ID gentle
man with gold-rimmed spectacles.
"Pardon me, SIR" said the spokes-
man, "can you tell me whose statue
that is ?" The old gentleman only gave
them cold stare III reply, ana marched
on. The next passer-by a stylishly
dressed young lady, was appealed to
with a like result.
